Gatherings
A place for what brings people together in Sobia's memory — prayers, gatherings, and, in time, the work done in her name.
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
Moments people paused to remember her, and gifts given in her name — so Adam can one day see how others carried his mother forward.
